If the challenge with lab animals is how to ensure that the animals being tested are in similar conditions, to maximize reproducibility, thus the desire to minimize the number of variables in their living environment, might the challenge with how to treat people also extend beyond energy-depleting cubicle farms?

If nobody had ever tried to figure out how to treat lab animals well AND get good, reproducible results, and if nobody had ever tried to figure out how to celebrate the creative contributions of every individual in a group, then we would really be in deep trouble. What to do? Fortunately, there are many people who are figuring this out, and they have been for decades. We just need to find them and to understand what they are doing. This is the next frontier for science, at least with people. How do we need to understand human interactions and human agreements to be able to find, study, and share what those on the forefront are learning. They experience what we want to experience. Let’s find them.
